Season 20 - Week 21

[7:20]  Chess:  "C-A-N-'-T" is the one word you can't say in this

"I am #1"
Week 21 Winner...
Charlie!

house.

Oh the irony.

[7:35]  Early in the night blinds are still just 75-150 and the flop comes K-K-7.  I look down and see a K-sumpin.  I put out a small bet cuz I'm still learning this King thing and Mike (why is it always Mike these days?) calls.  I hate the call, and feel like he's already on a boat and just setting me up.  Turn comes a 6 and check check.  River comes a 4 and I actually get a sliver of hope that I might be ahead, so I bet out.

Mike:  "Make it 4000."

Bish.

This is not good, just fold, you're behind and you know it.  It's early don't be stupid.  But yeah, good point, it's early.  Early enough for a re-buy.  Why not.

I'm probably not the only one to have that internal conversation, but in the end I end up calling for about half my stack and Mike does indeed show a boat, but made not with pkt 7's which I sort of put him on, instead pkt 6's made on the turn.  Hmmm, plot twist.  End result is the same though, more chips for Mike.

[8:12]  Chess:  "I only have 3 rules."
Scott:  "And one of those is never get in a hand with Mike?"
Chess:  "Yes.  Unless the evil being tells me to."
Scott:  "Cool.  Wait, is that one or two rules.  And 'evil being'?"
Chess:  "I can't tell you the other two."
Scott:  "I wouldn't ask.  Unless the first rule is Jeena is always right."
Eric:   "Well she was wrong at least once."  (Pointing at Chess.)

The final table came at 8:47, probably a record for earliness.  Unfortunately I was out not much after that so do not have much else to report, other than the results.

Charlie pulls in the win for Week 21 of this, the 20th season of the BPC, and like any win at this point it's a biggie, moving him up from 9th to 4th place and just 5 points out of 2nd and 15 out of 1st.  Congrats Charlie!

Kurticus nabs the 2nd spot and boy did he ever need it.  Kurt has been bobbing around the bubble spot all season, but this strong finish moves him up to 5th and provides some significant cushion.

Jeena continues on her hot streak with a 3rd, her 6th pointing in the last 9 weeks.  She passes Padma and moves into 2nd place, just 10 points out from overall leader Mike.

Jeremiah has had a quiet season, but as mentioned he's always been a late-season player.  Not that he hasn't done well early in the season as well, it just seems like he's always finishing strong while others (like me) go to sleep.  With this week's 4th place finish he moves up a spot into 11th, and is only 5 points out of the Top 9.  You gotta get the sense that it's just a matter of time for him to claim his spot.

Mike gets yet another pointing with a 5th, and Chester was the Bubble Boy, keeping us at Defcon 4 for now.
